Investigators are asking for the public’s help to identify a man believed responsible for robbing the Bank of Montreal on Oak Street near West 41st Avenue.
On June 18, 2013, at about 2:30 in the afternoon, a man walked into the bank and allegedly demanded money while implying to the teller he was armed with gun.
The man was described as white, 25 to 30 years old, 5’6″ tall, with brown hair and a medium build. He was wearing a white shirt, blue or black jacket with “Reebok” on the back and dark pants. He may also be associated to a tan and brown-coloured van with wood panelling.
An undisclosed amount of money was obtained, along with a dye pack that exploded after the man left the bank. He may have had unexplained red staining or slight burns on his hands, face or clothing as a result of the dye pack activating.
Anyone with information about this robbery or the suspect is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Robbery/Assault/Arson Unit at (604) 717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
